Impacts

As a speaker, panelist and board-level advisor, I spend much of my time enhancing understanding of the healthy buildings movement. I see myself more as a ‘curator’ than an practitioner, but, my understanding of – and passion for – greater materials transparency, sustainable supply chains and inclusive, people-centric design – is absolutely genuine. If you’re looking for a contributor or content partner on any of these topics, I’d love to hear from you.

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to witness the growth of Jo’s WorkInMind.org project. She has worked hard to expertly curate such high-quality and topical information and it really shows.

I’ve been very impressed with Joanna’s ability to communicate the themes and issues which are driving the global sustainable and healthy buildings movement. She is a true champion and advocate for improving the environments we all live and work in.

“As we move to a built environment future that addresses the climate and ecology crisis, the content and approach from Joanna and Work in Mind is vital to understanding how to make that future socially just and healthy for both mind and body.”

“Joanna Watchman has been the leader in sustainable design communications for not only the UK but the globe. The work she has developed and published on Work in Mind has literally changed my life in addition to the company I work for, mafi Naturholzboden in Austria; it has re-doubled its efforts and its mission and goals towards a more sustainable and transparent company.”
